Black Mountain, Black Lips, Black Dice. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Black Box Recorder. Amy Winehouse's Back To Black. Historically speaking, Black Sabbath, Black Flag and the Black Crowes. Not to mention Clint Black, Jack Black, and Frank Black, formerly known as Black Francis. Or, Johnny Cash, the Man in Black.
Black, it seems, is the new Black. And two of the best of the new Black bands are playing in town tonight. The first, Black Kids, whose members Reggie and Ali Young are actually black, are at Pure for Making Time. Their infectious video for "I'm Not Gonna Teach Him How To Dance With You" is on top. "Strange Days," by the blue-rock Black Keys, who play at the Electric Factory, is on the bottom.
